On the title track to his new album, Tenderness, T. Thomason centres the emotions that shape this collection as a whole: fear, courage and resolve. Amid change, about which T. writes in exquisite and intimate detail, what remains the same is that love and trust must light the way. A song that first name checks, and then features, indie rockers Stars, “Tenderness” is the culmination of the album’s major revelations and sonic tendrils in soaring chamber pop form.
